When I went away to college, I had a neighbor in my dorm that "wasn't gay." (He came out by the end of the year, btw.) His roommate and I were better friends than we were, but one night we were all sitting around drinking when the roommate and his girlfriend slipped off to her room. Left alone, the conversation turned to gossip, then sex, and then specifics. It was obvious he'd never had sex with a guy, but was awfully curious. Out of the blue, he asked me if I shaved my pubes. I told him I didn't shave the bush, but I did trimmer things short and shaved the rest.

He replied that he'd never trimmed his stuff and hadn't even thought about it until he came home one evening and saw the roommate doing some housekeeping. He also confessed that it'd given him a hardon. A natural come-on artist, he asked if I'd show him how to do it without getting razor burn or worse, nicks and cuts. Of course, I agreed to play teacher. *grins*

While I'd always enjoyed doing the basic hygiene necessary, it wasn't like it was a fetish or super turn on; it was just part of the weekly routine. One thing led to another and instead of shaving and trimmering ourselves, I ended up shaving off all of his body hair. It was really hot and I have to chalk that time up to one of the best sex experiences during college.

But getting shaved is a horse of a different color... You have to have a certain level of trust in the person holding a razor blade to your nuts, after all. Why not live "dangerously" though? Yes, it can be a little scary, but what's wrong with that occasionally? Nothing. At. All.

I'm a hairy guy, and I try to keep it all as trim as possible - armpits, bush, chest, legs, the whole works. As hirsute as I am, it can take a while; it's a half hour commitment at least. Jerame doesn't hang around while it's going on, but always finds time to return for the parts it's hard to see on your own. A shower follows - just like you take a shower after a haircut to get off all those stray bits - and next? *big grin* What good is it to look great and feel sexy if no one is around to appreciate it?

So when I see the Gillette video, I'm left to wonder why there's no inclusion of shaving someone else. It's good to know how to shave your nuts safely, but where's the tutorial on making it sexy for someone else? The clip is obviously meant to make shaving your stuff fun and hot, so why not take it that one step further?

So let's hear it from ya'll... Does shaving your crotch turn you on? Does shaving someone else? And how many of you keep your stuff trim or shaved - or do you prefer the au natural look? C'mon, it's a Friday afternoon. Loosen up a bit and give us your stories.

But don't be surprised if I don't reply in the comments right away. I'm gonna go upstairs to spend some quality time with my Gillette razor. Anyone else need a quick trim?
